About This Item
Eisenhower's secretary of defense (1953-57) had unusual qualifications: he served as president of General Motors (1941-53). Partly-printed DS (pencilled initials), 1p, 7¼" X 10½", n.p., n.d. [1939 June 12]. Near fine. Updating form sent out by "Who's Who in America" for their 1940-41 edition, printed on light orange stock, with Wilson's clipped entry from the previous edition tipped to the central blank portion. Wilson approves this mini-biography with a bold "OK / C.E.W." This item comes with a fine 7" X 9" glossy news agency photograph of 1953 depicting Wilson addressing newsreel cameras outside the Senate Office Building. His nomination to the cabinet was recommended -- after he agreed to sell off all of his GM stock!
